THEN  AND  NOW. 


THE  STORY  OF  FIFTY  YEARS. 


IN  1870  Presbyterians  were  more  averse  to 
innovations  than  now,  and  it  must  have 
been  somewhat  in  the  nature  of  a  shock 
when  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions 
heard  that  some  women  in  Philadelphia 
wanted  to  organize  themselves  into  a 
Missionary  Society  to  help — save  the  mark! 
— to  help  that  Board  with  its  work  among 
women  and  children. 

No  time  was  lost  by  the  Board  in  sending 
one  of  its  Secretaries,  Dr.  Irving,  from  New 
York,  to  talk  it  over  with  a  meeting  of  pastors 
and  ladies  convened  for  the  purpose,  and  the 
next  month,  just  as  the  first  article  of  a  tenta¬ 
tive  constitution  was  read,  Dr.  J.  C.  Lowrie 
of  the  Board  was  announced,  and  addressed 
the  meeting.  The  minutes  record  that  he 
questioned  the  propriety  of  an  independent 
organization,  and  thought  the  work  could  be 
more  easily,  cheaply  and  better  done  through 
the  agencies  now  employed  by  the  Church; 
but  inasmuch  as  he  closed  by  saying  .  he 
thought  it  safe  to  leave  the  matter  in  the 
hands  of  the  ladies,  the  constitution  was  taken 
up  just  where  it  had  been  left  at  his  appear¬ 
ing.  One  after  another  the  articles  were 
voted  upon,  and  later  they  were  submitted  to 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Board  of 
Foreign  Missions  for  approval. 


.iiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiiiimiimiiih. 


'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiii' 


Thus  the  precious  scheme  was  launched, 
the  Board  looking  on  with  alarm,  yet  with  an 
open  mind,  the  pastors  with  few  exceptions 
so  suspicious  that  one  of  them  insisted  on 
being  present  at  a  meeting  in  his  church, 
"Because,”  he  said,  "no  one  knows  what  these 
women  would  pray  for  if  left  alone!”  and  the 
very  sextons  asking  excitedly,  “Is  this  one  of 
those  Woman’s  Rights  affairs?” — for  just 
then,  as  now,  the  air  was  charged  with  cries 
for  equal  suffrage  for  women. 

If  you  expect  to  hear  that  the  beginnings 
of  our  dear  Society  were  small  and  the 
progress  slow,  you  will  be  disappointed,  for  it 
seemed  to  spring  full-sized  like  Minerva  from 
the  head  of  Jupiter.  Our  first  missionaries, 
Miss  Craig  and  Miss  Dickey  (afterward  Mrs. 
Tracy),  were  in  India,  and  in  six  months  after 
organizing  we  had  under  our  care  more 
than  half  the  women  missionaries  connected 
with  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions.  One 
of  these,  Miss  Noyes,  is  still  at  work  in  China. 

The  need  of  a  field  secretary  was  realized 
almost  at  once,  and  temporary  ones  were 
secured.  For  twelve  years  (1873-1885)  we 
were  so  fortunate  as  to  have  Miss  Loring,  a 
former  missionary  in  Syria,  who  is  now  Mrs. 
William  M.  Taylor,  of  Bartow,  Georgia.  She 
still  vivaciously  describes  her  perils  and  pleas¬ 
ures  as  she  travelled  about  organizing  718 
Societies,  and  we  owe  her  a  debt  of  gratitude. 

We  were  in  such  haste  to  have  an  Annual 
Meeting  that  it  was  held  six  months  after  our 
organization,  though  a  full  year  after  the 


.iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

'■iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- 


preliminary  meetings.  Moreover,  annual 
meetings  seem  not  to  have  been  enough,  for 
they  were  preceded  by  “Anniversaries,”  and 
followed  by  semi-annual  meetings  in  October. 
Is  it  because  our  blood  runs  more  sluggishly 
now  that  a  Biennial  Assembly  suffices?  No, 
but  because  our  many  splendidly  organized 
Synodical  and  Presbyterial  Societies  hold 
meetings  well  fitted  to  uplift  and  educate 
without  the  yearly  presence  of  the  Parent 
Society,  and  thus  much  money  and  labor  are 
saved. 

At  that  first  Annual  Meeting  in  Calvary 
Presbyterian  Church,  April  27,  1871,  sixty- 
two  Auxiliaries  and  Bands  had  sprung  into 
existence,  supporting  fifteen  missionaries 
(besides  native  teachers  and  schools),  while 
$4,834  had  come  into  the  treasury.  To-day 
we  report  4,242  Societies,  old  and  young,  and 
a  roll  of  301  missionaries.  The  total  receipts 
for  1918-19  were  $307,765,  and  since  we 
organized  they  have  amounted  to  over 
seven  and  a  half  millions. 

Although  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions 
eyed  us  skeptically  in  those  first  few  months, 
it  is  but  fair  to  say  that  they  soon  welcomed 
us  blithely  as  colleagues  and  somewhat 
rapidly  unloaded  upon  us  new  enterprises, 
which,  it  seems  from  the  minutes,  we  invari¬ 
ably  accepted.  (I  quote  from  Mrs.  S.  C. 
Perkins.)  School  buildings,  homes  for  mis¬ 
sionaries,  hospitals,  type  for  the  Bible  in  Laos, 
the  purchase  of  Woodstock  in  India,  a  boat 
for  missionary  use,  medical  instruments,

famine  funds,  and,  in  one  instance,  the  actual 
founding  of  a  station — all  these  objects,  and 
many  more,  were  proposed,  accepted  and 
accomplished  during  the  first  ten  or  fifteen 
years  of  our  history.  Moreover,  having 
been  good,  loyal  children,  and  having  laid  out 
our  work  on  strictly  Presbyterian  lines,  we 
had  each  year  cordial  endorsement  by  the 
General  Assembly,  and  in  every  report  of  the 
Standing  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions  our 
labors  were  distinctly  acknowledged  and 
approved: 

Thus  events  followed  fast,  yet  there  were  a 
few  things  which  came  so  slowly  as  to  be 
unaccountable  did  we  not  remember  how  our 
founders  shrunk  from  publicity.  There  was 
no  printed  report  the  first  year  save  two 
pages  in  Woman’s  Work  for  Woman,  and 
when  in  the  second  year  one  of  eighty  pages 
was  printed,  the  names  of  the  “Managers” 
(now  called  Directors)  were  not  included  in 
the  first  edition.  Was  it  because  of  their  dis¬ 
like  to  see  or  to  have  husbands  and  fathers 
see  their  names  in  print?  Again,  they  record 
only  silent  prayer  in  the  minutes  of  the  first 
meetings — unless  indeed  a  man  was  brought 
in  to  lead  in  prayer — and  in  the  public  meet¬ 
ings  no  woman  seems  to  have  made  an 
address  until  in  April,  1872,  Miss  Nassau  of 
Africa,  and  Mrs,  House  of  Siam,  broke  the 
silence. 

But  if  the  prayers  were  not  at  first  audible, 
they  were  none  the  less  incessant,  and  only 
by  reason  of  this  has  the  Society  thriven.  As

early  as  1871,  the  Managers  recommended 
that  the  hour  between  five  and  six  on  Sunday 
evening  be  devoted  to  prayer  for  missionaries 
and  for  our  efforts  to  aid  them.  Since  1874 
the  third  Tuesday  morning  of  the  month  has 
seen  us  assembled  for  the  same  purpose. 
Prayers  and  letters,  letters  and  prayers! — we 
have  been  nourished  on  them  and  have  tried 
to  help  the  Master  feed  the  five  thousand,  the 
many  times  five  thousand  of  our  constituents, 
with  the  same  angels’  food. 

Speaking  of  letters,  it  is  pleasant  to  catch 
glimpses  in  the  minutes  of  the  excitement 
caused  by  receiving  the  first  missionary  letter 
in  April,  1871.  It  was  from  Miss  Hattie 
Noyes  of  Canton,  unfolding  her  plans  for  a 
Girls’  School  and  asking  that  we  support  it. 
This  request  was  granted,  and  to  this  day  the 
head  of  True  Light  Seminary  is  Miss  Noyes. 
In  1918-19  as  many  as  13,753  copies  of  mis¬ 
sionary  letters  went  out  from  our  office,  and 
a  special  secretary  is  needed  to  oversee  their 
distribution. 

Let  me  say,  in  passing,  that  it  was  on  that 
same  day  when  the  first  missionary  letter  was 
received  that  the  name  of  Mrs.  Charles  P. 
Turner  was  proposed  as  Manager — a  day 
fraught  with  blessing  for  many! 

This  brings  us  to  our  Presidents — there 
have  been  but  five.  Mrs.  William  E.  Schenck, 
a  forceful  and  discerning  woman,  was 
elected  at  the  first  organized  meeting, 
and  continued  in  office  twenty  years.  Mrs. 
Charles  P.  Turner,  her  successor,  retired  after

fourteen  years  from  the  presidency,  but,  to 
our  joy,  not  from  anything  else.  Shoulder 
to  shoulder  has  she  worked  with  us,  and  we 
feel  her  influence  in  every  undertaking.  Mrs. 
Charles  N.  Thorpe,  for  twenty  years  a  foreign 
secretary,  was  our  fearless  and  enterprising 
president  from  1904  till  her  death  in  1910, 
when  Miss  Margaret  E.  Hodge  was  elected 
and  said  to  be  “the  youngest  president  of  the 
oldest  of  our  Woman’s  Boards.”  In  1917 
Miss  Hodge  resigned,  having  been  asked  to 
take  the  newly-created  office  of  Executive 
Secretary  of  Central  Committee,  and  Mrs. 
John  Harvey  Lee  was  elected  president. 
Mrs.  Lee,  a  busy  minister’s  wife,  one  of  our 
foreign  secretaries,  heeded  the  call  and  con¬ 
sented  to  be  our  leader,  even  though  the  time 
was  one  of  war  and  emergency.  Under  her 
presidency  we  are  happily  celebrating  our 
fiftieth  year. 

Our  officers  for  the  most  part  have  served 
us  long  as  well  as  faithfully.  Mrs.  Fishburn 
was  Treasurer  from  1875  to  1902,  a  term  of 
twenty-seven  years.  Mrs.  S.  C.  Perkins ,  one 
of  our  founders,  held  many  offices  in  the 
thirty  years  before  her  death.  Her  “Story 
of  Twenty-five  Years”  is  the  story  of  our 
first  quarter-century,  and  has  been,  as  you 
may  believe,  of  great  help  in  preparing  this 
history.  Mrs.  R.  H.  Allen,  vice-president, 
was  a  great  power,  and  is  held  in'  loving 
memory,  as  are  also  Mrs.  Z.  M.  Humphrey , 
Mrs.  D.  R.  Posey,  Mrs.  A.  L.  1 Massey  and 
others.

Before  we  leave  the  subject  of  our  officers, 
I  appeal  to  those  of  you  who  have  held  office 
in  this  Board  even  as  long  as  seven  years — 
does  it  not  seem  as  seven  days  for  the  love 
you  bear  toward  it? 

In  order  to  hold  property  and  to  strengthen 
the  organization,  a  charter  was  obtained  in 
1883,  but  long  before  that,  through  the  gen¬ 
erosity  of  the  Board  of  Publication,  we  “read 
our  title  clear”  to  the  rooms  in  which  we  had 
set  up  housekeeping.  Before  we  were  two 
years  old  the  Board  of  Publication  gave  us 
rooms  rent-free,  first  at  1334  Chestnut  Street, 
where  Rooms  31  and  25  meant  much  to  us 
and  our  missionaries,  and  since  1898  at  the 
Witherspoon  Building,  1319  Walnut  Street, 
where  in  Rooms  501,  502  and  503,  we  delight 
to  welcome  those  of  you  who  call.  Here  any 
day  you  are  likely  to  meet  your  officers,  but 
you  are  certain  to  do  so  on  the  first  and  third 
Tuesdays  of  the  month  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Directors  and  at  the  prayer  meeting — the 
latter,  as  I  reminded  you,  an  institution  of 
forty-five  years’  standing.  Every  Tuesday 
sees  the  members  of  the  Executive  Committee 
at  the  Witherspoon  Building — and  a  vision 
comes  to  me  of  a  large  table  whose  magic 
circle  leaves  no  one  who  touches  it  the  same! 

Do  not  imagne  that  your  secretaries  sit  at 
501  Witherspoon  Building  and  draw  salaries. 
All  officers  except  the  treasurer  and  field 
secretary  are  unsalaried,  and  in  their  homes, 
to  which  your  letters  are  forwarded,  they  have 
just  such  cares  as  have  the  rest  of  you.

In  1872  the  first  presbyterial  society  was 
organized,  and  (to  quote  again  from  Mrs.  S. 
C.  Perkins)  “many  a  good  Presbyterian 
woman  hardly  knew  what  a  Presbytery  was 
until  there  arose  a  talk  about  this  new  kind 
of  a  society.”  Since  then  we  have  added, 
subtracted,  multiplied  and  divided  presby¬ 
terial  societies,  until  now  we  stand  at  seventy- 
three.  In  1886  the  North  Pacific,  and 
in  1889  the  Occidental  Branches,  were 
organized  into  separate  Boards,  with  whom, 
together  with  the  three  other  Women’s 
Boards,  we  have  vital  connection  by  means 
of  a  Central  Committee.  In  1908  the  union 
of  the  Cumberland  Church  with  our  own 
added  new  presbyterial  societies  and  brought 
the  number  up  to  the  seventy-three. 

There  have  also  been  subtraction  and  addi¬ 
tion  in  our  foreign  field — missions  among  the 
North  American  Indians  were  transferred  to 
the  Home  Board  in  1873  (just  after  we  had 
sent  them  a  gift  of  a  barrel  of  candy,  too!) 
and  the  Spanish  War  in  1898  laid  the  Philip¬ 
pines  on  our  doorstep.  At  present  we  sup¬ 
port  work  in  sixteen  countries — India,  China, 
Japan,  Persia,  West  Africa,  Siam,  Syria, 
Colombia,  Venezuela,  Brazil,  Chile,  Mexico, 
Chosen,  Philippines,  Guatemala,  and  among 
the  Chinese  and  Japanese  in  California. 

Watch  how  swiftly  our  periodicals  were 
evolved.  Six  months  after  our  organization, 
Woman’s  Work  for  Woman,  a  quarterly,  was 
launched,  the  Board  of  the  Northwest  joining 
with  us  in  its  publication.  The  next  year  it

changed  to  a  bi-monthly,  and  in  1875  to  a 
monthly,  with  a  subscription  list  of  10,000. 
Ten  years  later  it  became  the  organ  of  all 
the  Woman’s  Boards,  and  was  moved  to  New 
York.  In  1910  Miss  Parsons  celebrated  the 
twenty-fifth  year  of  her  editorship  by  attend¬ 
ing  the  World’s  Conference  on  Missions  at 
Edinburgh,  and  soon  after  resigned,  when  the 
present  editor,  Mrs.  Henry  R.  Elliot,  was 
chosen.  The  subscription  list  is  now  31,193, 
with  a  free  list  to  missionaries,  libraries,  etc., 
of  1,137. 

As  to  leaflets,  the  first  one  was  published 
in  1872,  and  the  Second  Annual  Report  gives 
a  list  of  nine  publications.  Leaflets  are  now 
sent  out  from  our  office  by  the  thousands, 
carrying  their  messages  of  information  and 
inspiration. 

The  Young  People’s  Work  of  our  Board  is 
almost  as  old  as  the  Board  itself.  It  must 
have  begun  before  1872,  for  the  minutes  of 
that  year  record  that  one  of  the  meetings  was 
pleasantly  interrupted  by  four  little  girls,  who 
bore  a  box  filled  with  dolls  and  other  articles 
of  their  handiwork  made  for  the  children  of 
India.  Perhaps  it  was  the  children’s  depart¬ 
ment  in  Woman’s  Work  which  inspired  them, 
but,  at  all  events,  they  were  harbingers  of  a 
host  of  others  who  from  Light  Bearers, 
Circle,  Christian  Endeavor  Societv  and  Guild, 
have  rallied  to  our  aid.  When  Childrens 
Work  for  Children  (now  Over  Sea  and  Land ) 
was  started  in  1875,  it  was  housed  in  our 
offices,  and  was  the  only  children’s  missionary

magazine  in  the  United  States.  In  1909  this 
magazine  also  was  moved  to  New  York,  and 
it  is  now  under  the  care  of  the  Home  and 
Foreign  Boards,  with  a  subscription  list  of 
22,000. 

Later,  a  secretary  was  appointed  to  look 
after  Young  People’s  Work,  and  at  present 
there  are  four  such  to  oversee  the  2,194  or¬ 
ganizations  which  range  from  Little  Light 
Bearers  (babies)  up  through  Bands,  Young 
Women’s  Societies  and  Christian  Endeavor 
Societies,  to  the  studious  Chapters  and  Cir¬ 
cles  of  the  Westminster  Guild  and  to  the 
Study  Classes. 

In  1903  Mission  Study  Classes  were  first 
reported  in  our  territory.  Now  over  1,000 
groups  each  year  are  studying  foreign  mis¬ 
sions. 

In  1909  the  Department  of  Associate 
Members  was  started,  then  known  as  Home 
Department,  and  later  as  Extension  Depart¬ 
ment. 

The  Westminster  Guild,  started  by  the 
Board  of  the  Northwest,  soon  became  a 
national  organization.  Our  ten  Chapters 
reported  in  1909  have  grown  to  41 1  contrib¬ 
uting  Chapters  and  Circles. 

I  wish  it  were  the  province  of  this  history 
to  recount  those  more  interesting  things,  the 
doings  on  the  foreign  field.  How  implicated 
we  are  in  all  that  touches  our  missionaries! 
Does  each  of  them  from  time  to  time  wrestle 
with  plague,  famine,  earthquake,  financial 
depression,  political  prejudice,  war,  massacre?

We  more!  For  have  we  not  war  every  year, 
with  its  dread  following  of  famine  and  pesti¬ 
lence?  Always  somezvhere  in  our  sixteen 
countries  is  there  disaster!  Ffappily  the  mis¬ 
sionaries’  joys  also  are  ours,  and  what  should 
we  do  without  them!  Each  year  we  give 
thanks  for  a  revival  somewhere,  as  letters  fly 
back  and  forth  shuttle-fashion  across  the  seas. 

Watch  that  Korea  miracle!  So  discour¬ 
aging  were  matters  in  1889  that  nine  lines 
in  the  annual  report  sufficed  to  tell  them.  In 
1896  it  had  shrunk  to  seven  lines,  and  they 
mostly  about  the  king.  Two  years  later  the 
report  expands  to  forty-six  lines,  while  to-day 
just  listen  to  that  “nation  on  the  run  to  God!” 

The  epoch-making  Edinburgh  Conference 
was  attended  by  four  of  our  Directors  in 
1910,  and  from  that  time  new  movements 
multiplied,  each  wave  raising  our  work  to  a 
higher  level.  The  Women’s  National  For¬ 
eign  Missionary  Jubilee  (1910-11)  and  its 
post-jubilee,  were  followed  by  the  China 
Campaign  in  1912,  as  if  to  present  something- 
worthy  of  the  enthusiasm  generated.  This 
wonderful  interdenominational  Jubilee  was 
the  celebration  of  the  fiftieth  year  of  the 
Woman’s  Union  Missionary  Society,  in  which 
Society  women  of  many  denominations  had 
begun  their  organized  work  for  missions.  It 
swept  from  Pacific  to  Atlantic,  and  incident¬ 
ally  sent  to  the  foreign  field  through  the  usual 
channels  of  the  Boards  a  love-gift  of  an  extra 
million  dollars.  The  follow-up  work  of  this 
Jubilee  had  brought  us  forty  new  organiza-

tions,  and  the  two-year  program  of  the  China 
Campaign  asked  for  an  extra  gift  of  $100,000 
and  for  ten  young  women  missionaries.  At 
the  close  of  that  period  we  thanked  God  for 
twelve  new  missionaries  and  for  $101,462. 
Among  the  new  buildings  erected  by  the 
China  Fund  were  two  memorials  in  Hunan 
Province — the  Girls’  Boarding  School  at 
Changsha  in  memory  of  our  first  President, 
Mrs.  W.  E.  Schenck,  and  the  Girls’  School 
at  Changteh  in  memory  of  Mrs.  Z.  M. 
Humphrey,  an  early  member  of  this  Society. 

But  the  China  Fund  refused  to  be  closed 
when  the  two  years  had  expired,  and  at  the 
1916  Biennial  Assembly  the  amount  had 
grown  to  $126,869.  In  spite  of  this  extra  gift 
and  in  spite  of  the  appalling  war  which  had 
broken  upon  the  world,  our  funds  for  regular 
work  had  increased  and  an  extra  War  Em¬ 
ergency  Fund  was  started  June,  1917. 
This  showed  that  Presbyterian  women,  what¬ 
ever  war  economies  they  might  practice, 
would  not  “retrench  in  souls.” 

That  1916  Biennial  in  Philadelphia  ad¬ 
journed  to  meet  in  Nashville  in  1918,  but  on 
April  6,  1917,  our  own  country  threw  itself 
with  abandon  into  the  European  war,  and  for 
patriotic  reasons  we  and  Nashville  cancelled 
our  engagement.  Only  once  before  had  an 
Annual  or  a  Biennial  Assembly  been  omitted 
— in  1900,  on  account  of  the  Ecumenical 
Conference  in  New  York  City. 

The  outstanding  event  in  1916  was  the 
Chicago  Conference  held  by  the  Woman’s

Boards  of  Foreign  Missions  and  the  Woman’s 
Board  of  Home  Missions  to  consider  greater 
uniformity  in  methods  of  work.  One  of  the 
many  results  of  this  was  the  formation  of  the 
General  Council  of  the  Woman’s  Boards  of 
Missions.  Even  before  this  there  had  been 
co-operation  between  the  Foreign  Boards 
and  the  Home  Board,  for  in  1912  a  Joint 
Committee  on  Student  Work  had  been 
formed.  Field  secretaries  working  under 
this  committee  visited  in  one  year  as  many 
as  sixty-seven  colleges  and  schools  in  seven¬ 
teen  States,  and  yet  reached  only  1,000  of  our 
12,000  Presbyterian  girls  graduating  each 
year. 

When,  in  1917,  the  Woman’s  Summer 
School  of  Missions  in  Northfield  outgrew  the 
almost  limitless  hospitality  of  that  place,  Mr. 
Moody  declared  there  must  be  another  school 
started  in  Pennsylvania  to  prevent  the  over¬ 
crowding.  It  was  largely  our  responsibility 
to  find  the  place,  the  students  and  the  plans. 
A  beautiful  spot  and  kind  hosts  were  found 
in  Wilson  College  at  Chambersburg,  and  the 
new  summer  school  started  off  full-grown 
with  a  registration  of  533.  In  1918,  700  dele¬ 
gates  were  reported;  and  in  1919,  728,  of 
whom  286  were  Presbyterians. 

Co-operative  planning  g'oes  on  apace  not 
only  between  our  seven  Women’s  Boards,  but 
with  the  Assembly’s  Board  as  well.  The 
Executive  Secretary  of  Central  Committee 
visits  yearly  each  Woman’s  Board  of  Foreign 
Missions,  and  in  her  office  at  156  Fifth  Ave-

nne,  New  York,  helps  us  to  co-ordinate  our 
work.  She  also  represents  all  six  Boards  at 
the  meetings  of  the  Executive  Council  of  the 
Assembly’s  Board  (composed  of  the  secre¬ 
taries  and  treasurers  of  the  men’s  Board  of 
Foreign  Missions),  and  from  time  to  time  the 
Executive  Committee  of  Central  Committee 
has  been  invited  to  sit  in  the  same  Council. 
At  the  second  such  meeting  the  men  invited 
the  Chairman  of  Central  Committee,  Mrs. 
Lee,  to  preside  over  the  joint  meeting. 

In  June,  1919,  the  six  Woman’s  Boards 
unanimously  accepted  the  recommendation  of 
the  Board  of  the  Northwest  that  they  unite 
in  one  National  Board,  with  headquarters  in 
New  York,  and  plans  for  this  union  go  on 
apace. 

When  the  men  who  were  planning  the  New 
Era  Movement  came  to  the  women  in  1918 
to  secure  their  co-operation,  behold,  we  were 
found  to  have  already  upon  our  hands  a  little 
new  era  of  our  own  called  the  Jubilee,  and 
the  same  General  Assembly  which  had  en¬ 
dorsed  the  New  Era  had  already  endorsed  the 
Jubilee.  Therefore,  the  men  said,  “Your 
Jubilee  gifts  for  1919-20  shall  be  considered 
your  New  Era  Increase,  and  shall  be  sent 
through  your  usual  channels.” 

This  two-year  program  of  our  fiftieth  birth¬ 
day  draws  to  a  close,  the  other  five  Woman’s 
Boards  celebrating  their  Jubilee  with  us. 
The  aim  of  the  celebration  has  been  a  four¬ 
fold  enlistment  of  those  who  will  pray,  who 
will  serve,  who  will  give,  who  will  go.  Some

gifted  souls  can  accomplish  all  four;  most  of 
us  can  do  three.  The  Golden  Anniversary 
Gift  asked  for  (in  addition  to  our  regular 
gifts  and  the  War  Emergency  Fund)  is 
$500,000,  the  Philadelphia  Board’s  share 
being  $200,000.  Volunteers  for  Over  Seas 
Service  are  needed — evangelists,  teachers, 
doctors.  Take  this  little  history  with  you  to 
the  culmination  of  the  Jubilee  in  Philadelphia 
in  May,  1920,  and  in  it  mark  the  amount  of 
the  Golden  Anniversary  Gift  as  there  re¬ 
ported,  and  also  the  number  of  volunteers. 
Record  other  notable  milestones  and  treas¬ 
ures  that  God  may  reveal  to  us  there.  So 
shall  you  weave  yourself  into  this  history  of 
“Then  and  Now,”  and  join  in  saying,  “Hith¬ 
erto  hath  the  Lord  helped  us.” 

“What  is  the  final  ending? 

The  issues  can  we  know? 

Will  Christ  outlive  Mohammed? 

Will  Kali’s  altar  go? 

This  is  our  faith  tremendous — 

Our  world-hope,  who  shall  scorn  ! — 

That  in  the  name  of  Jesus 
The  world  shall  be  reborn.” 

Rachel  Lowrie. 

August,  1919.
